Doctoral Seminar: The Microfoundations of Entrepreneurship

Dates 

May 22-26, 2017 in Raleigh, North Carolina

Overview

This week-long intensive entrepreneurship doctoral seminar is offered by the Poole College of Management and the NC State Entrepreneurship Clinic. This seminar will focus on the Clinical Model of Entrepreneurship Research and will explore the microfoundations of entrepreneurship. Students will be admitted based upon their application materials, research interests, and fit with the seminar focus. A maximum of 40 students will be admitted. Students will be expected to read academic journal articles and prepare discussion questions and notes prior to the intensive seminar. This seminar is intended to count towards the credit hours required for degrees at the Ph.D. level. As such, the course will meet the contact hours and scholarly requirements to qualify as a 3-hour doctoral level course.

Agenda

The seminar will begin at 8:00am on Monday, May 22^nd continuing until approximately 5:00pm on Friday, May 26^th. This year's program includes content focused on theory and research related to the microfoundations of entrepreneurship (e.g., affect, cognition, behavior of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial teams). Also, content within the seminar will be focused on the methods and analytic techniques available to help students position and publish their research studies in top tier journals in their respective fields (e.g., experimental design, repeated measures methods, best practices for avoiding questionable research practices). Each day will include two "content" sessions (3 hours each) as well as two hours of networking and research time-it is our goal that each student who attends have at least one research idea at the end of the seminar that can be pursued going forward. There will be speakers at lunches and dinners to enrich the experience and provide networking opportunities for students.
